Russian: from cases — to free communication
Russian remains the most practical second language in Central Asia: work, study, travel, talking to relatives. Many have 'heard' it but don't know it systematically. The Tildosh Russian program fills exactly this gap: it turns what you've heard into knowledge.
The program launches at stage 1 — once the English system works fully. The methodology is the same (AI tutor, micro-lessons, SRS), but the content is adapted to the specific difficulties of Russian.
Three hard spots of Russian
For an Uzbek speaker, Russian feels hard in three things — and Tildosh has a special approach for each:
Six cases
Russian nouns decline by case — the logic resembles Uzbek suffixes, but the forms differ. Each case is reinforced with a separate micro-lesson and hundreds of examples.
Verb aspects
Perfective/imperfective verbs — a concept absent in Uzbek. The AI explains it with examples from your native language.
Stress
In Russian, stress can change a word's meaning (замо́к — castle, за́мок — lock). Pronunciation exercises pay special attention to stress.
Program structure
The methodology mirrors the English program: Telegram bot, free conversation, micro-lessons, Tap-to-Meaning, SRS vocabulary, streak. The difference is in content: lessons target the hard spots of Russian grammar, examples come from everyday life.
Case drills
Special drills for each case — with automatic checking.
Speaking practice
Free communication with the AI tutor on everyday topics.
Explanations in Uzbek
Complex rules in your native language, with simple examples.
Who it's for
Those working or planning to work in Russia, students wanting to study in Russian, specialists working with documents, and anyone who simply wants to know the neighbors' language. Especially for those who say 'I understand but can't speak' — the program targets speaking precisely.
Starting with the alphabet: Cyrillic
Cyrillic has 33 letters — and most of them will look familiar if you've seen the Uzbek Cyrillic script: many letters look and sound the same. You won't start from zero — you'll start from 'almost familiar'.
Only a few letters are genuinely tricky: 'ы' (a sound that doesn't exist in Uzbek), 'щ' (soft 'sh', unlike the hard 'ш'), and the signs 'ъ' and 'ь' (they have no sound of their own — they change their neighbors). The very first module is dedicated to them: recognition drills, audio repetition, writing.
Reading speed normalizes within a week: you stop decoding each letter and start reading whole words. Texts begin in week 2 — with stress marks first, then without them, like real books. Stress marks are training wheels: they're removed once you ride steadily.
Conversation topics: real life
No textbook dialogues — 'This is a table' won't help you buy tomatoes at the market. Tildosh's topics are real life: haggling at the market, a doctor's visit, a job interview, talking to neighbors, calling a taxi, visiting the migration office.
Each topic is prepared in a micro-lesson: the words you'll need, typical phrases, what people usually say in reply. Then — live practice with the bot: it plays the seller, the doctor, the interviewer.
There's a special mode for those who 'understand but can't speak': first the bot encourages you to talk — no pressure, no strict corrections — and only after you've loosened up does it start analyzing mistakes. Most people in this group begin speaking within the first two weeks.
Russian program questions
Yes, if your knowledge is unsystematic. Many 'learned it on the street' — make case mistakes, struggle with writing. The program will assess your level and fill the gaps.
